Senator @TJShope said it best—golf drives tourism. Golf brings visitors from around the world to experience Arizona’s world-class fairways and sunshine.
Let's all continue celebrating the game of golf in Arizona together!

Full status didn't cut it for getting into the WM Phoenix Open this week and the reduced field size didn't help them finish the first round before play was suspended. #Fail So maybe just go back to 132 and have a Monday Q 🤔 story here:

“This week is special.”
In 2000 & 2002, Greg Avant, PGA, teed it up in the WM Phoenix Open. This week, his son & reigning Southwest PGA Section Champion, Tommi, will do the same.
We asked Greg to share some fatherly advice. 🥹

Congratulations to Michael Herrera on winning the 82nd Arizona Open Championship at @PapagoGolf. Herrera, from Las Vegas, carded a 4-under 66 in the final round & finished with a 54-hole total of 196 (-14). His margin of victory was two strokes over Mark Baldwin. @mondayqinfo
Well done @markbaldwin1 three straight 66’s is good for second at the AZ Open. Check will come in handy at very expensive time of year with Q-school upcoming
Congrats to Michael Herrera who won and been playing some great golf of late.
Great event put on by @SWSectionPGA
The playoff at the @ColoradoOpen went four holes and it was between two guys with full time jobs.
Non-iced tea Sam Saunders, assistant coach at New Mexico and Jimmy Hard K Knous. Engineer at Ping
On the 4th playoff hole @JimmyHardK pitched in for eagle from 60 yards. Pretty awesome.
